Abstract
What is common for a large bank, a national library, and a major airline? Tradition, volume, and costs: meaning that they are conservative, have established values, and are resistant to change, but at the same time confronted with the ever-increasing volume of their daily business. And yes, they are paying a small fortune just to have their decades-old software running. Regardless of whether it is more SWIFTs to track, more books to index, or more tickets to sell, the speed of digitalization in their respective domains have caught up with them. They are now facing an impossible dilemma: how to scale massively – as those “others” are doing in the cloud – but remain “traditional” at the same time. Let me tell you a story of how they accepted a cutting-edge hybrid API technology while remaining true to their traditional values. And how I learned to stop worrying and love the cloud.
